Added another vehicle to my France 40 Bolt Action collection. While I've been painting Germans for the very short France 40 campaign I've kept my eye on adding to my collection stuff that I can use for the initial invasion of the Soviet Union. The 222 is one of my favorite German vehicles and was used throughout the war.
This week I worked on 18 Levy for my Saga Ordensstaat warband. These are really detailed V & V figures. Man I've got to say that these were not easy to paint because of all the detail, which is great, but I suffered trying to paint everything,
Table top standard is what I went for. I painted the shields as they were too large for shield transfers. I had a really hard time trying to figure out colors for the shields as these would be Prussian's, Polish, Lithuanian soldiers and not really wealthy. I also discovered that even though little big man transfers have some really ornate designs that this wasn't true in the real world. Oh yes there would be some fancy painted shields, but mostly they were solid colors.
I have another 12 mounted to do, and 6 more foot. But I can play with what I have right now. I just need these extra figures to give the army more flexible options when building.
Been a few months since I've painted any models for the game Lunar. These are some new releases from Blacksite Studios. JAXA astronauts. I had no idea that Japan even had a space program, but hey they do!
JAXA stands for Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. They have a mission to build a lunar base in late 20's, but I think, if it happens at all, it will be more like late 30's. I do hope it happens in my life time. I think that would be awesome!
The paint scheme I chose was from the card art. I like it because it reminds me of the Japanese WW2 naval uniforms. Here are my five astronauts I've done for JAXA faction so far....
